[Bonetools] ICAZ meetings in Mexico

[h13017cho at helka.iif.hu]

Dear Colleagues,

I would really like to convene an informal 'plenary' type meeting of the 
Worked Bone Research Group at the ICAZ meeting in Mexico. Of particular 
interest:

1. Bringing together  interested archaeologists and archaeozoologists from 
outside Europe with their European counterparts.

Do you know any scholars from Central or Latin America coming to the 
meetings who would be willing to summarize some of the work being done 
in bone tool studies in these regions. Chriatian Gates and Renee walker will 
be discussing bone tool studies in North America. Of course if there will be 
anyone prepared to talk about Asia or Australia bone tool studies I would be 
very, very happy. It would be wonderful. Nowadays, with e-mailwe should 
really b able to form a proper community on the mailing list, our own 
website and NOW Bone Commons

2. Discussion of methodologies and goals

3. Microwear studies such as carried out by the French and some North 
Americans over the last twenty years 

I would also take the opportunity to advertise the WBRG meetings in Paris 
and encourage people outside Europe to go. 

I am looking forward to meeing some of my Latin American colleagues in 
Mexico!!!

Best,
Alice Choyke
